FMCSA Streamlines Process Allowing Individuals with Properly Managed Diabetes to Operate Commercial Motor Vehicles
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) today announced a final rule revising federal regulations permitting individuals with a stable insulin regimen and properly controlled insulin-treated diabetes mellitus (ITDM) to be qualified to operate commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in interstate commerce.
Previously, individuals with ITDM were prohibited from driving CMVs in interstate commerce unless they obtained an exemption from FMCSA. The action removes major administrative and financial burdens for this population of CMV operators while maintaining a high level of safety.
The rule enables a certified medical examiner (ME) to grant an individual with ITDM a Medical Examiner’s Certificate, MCSA-5876, for up to 12 months.
This is great news for drivers who are on insulin. We have all the information and procedures to get you on the road and making money!

FMCSA to Delay June 22nd Deadline
In a recent announcement, FMCSA Associate Administrator William Quade said that FMCSA is anticipating a delay of the June 22nd deadline due to the hack of the National Registry website last December.
Components of the June 22nd deadline included the electronic transmission of medical certificate information of CDL drivers to State Driver's Licensing Agencies to be used thru the CDLIS system. This would have ended the CME's requirement to issue a medical examiner's certificate to the driver. With this delay, CMEs will be required to continue provide drivers with a medical examiner's certificate for the driver to submit to their State's Driving Licensing Agency.
Because Non-CDL driver information is not part of the CDLIS system, the June 22nd deadline did not remove the requirement for CMEs to provide non-CDL drivers a medical certificate. CMEs will be required to provide a medical examiner certificate to non-CDL drivers unless a new FMCSA regulation is passed to remove that requirement.
The delay is related to the December hacking of the National Registry website.
There is no additional information regarding when the NRCME website will be restored. The last FMCSA comment was that there was no schedule or timetable in place for when the website will be restored.
